Welcome to
Southern Star Western Performance Club

Southern Star Western Performance Club (SSWPC) is located at the picturesque grounds of Kirkcaldy Park near Meadows in the heart of the Adelaide Hills. We focus on training and skill development to improve the relationship between horse and rider and aim to help develop confidence in a friendly and helpful atmosphere that gives people skills that can be put together when riding at home, out on the trail or in a competition arena, focusing our training towards Western Dressage, Cowboy Dressage and Ranch Riding, as well as incorporating in the skills required for other western events.

We hold regular club days, monthly on the 4th Sunday of the month (club day - Full Day - $ 25.00 members & $35.00 Non Members) of the month.

Finishing times vary for Club days but usually at about 3pm.

On club days we often provide a canteen service, including a BBQ lunch, however, this service is not available at present and we ask that you bring your own food and drinks.

WESTERN RIDING - A DISCIPLINE FOR EVERY PASSION
What is Western Trail?
Trail is a competitive class where horses and riders in western-style attire and horse tack navigate a series of obstacles. Riders navigate the course one at a time. Originally designed to resemble situations a horse and rider might actually encounter when on a trail in a natural habitat, modern trail classes now tend to focus more heavily on agility and manners. A typical trail course requires horse and rider to open and pass through a small gate while mounted; walk across a fake bridge; cross over a set of rails or logs at a walk, trot or lope; back up, often with a turn while backing; sidepass, often over a rail or log; turn on the forehand or hindquarters within a confined area; and tolerate some type of "spooky" obstacle, such as having the rider put on a vinyl raincoat. The horse is asked to perform all three gaits in the process of completing the course.

We hold small, fun competition days aimed towards novice and beginner riders & handlers building confidence and gaining experience in a relaxed and friendly environment.
